Rat Bikes! Pub Bikes Beaters! Frankenbikes!

looks like an ITM stem, i had one and it was v stiff

Yeah I had one too, tubular steel so really light as well. Shame the stainless steel wasn't completely stainless...

A larger Les the lo pro with wound ups.

Bonkers fun.

Yes! That's one of my all-time favourite rides and the reason why Les needs the forks. The owners new bike is even better though:

^^ bit like that Bob Jackson posted in pron recently.

seatpost ruins it imo

flat bars ruins it

ftfy

red stem ruins it

ftfm

fuck that fucking monkey?

flame that fan mail

flaunt that filthy mouth

Fugly Thing, Fail Much?

Since you asked... No.

Everything important on those bikes is covered. Totally sorted.

...except maybe the Hunter could have used a steeper seat tube I guess.

:d

Not sure if these qualify? But I really like all 56lbs of this!

56lbs? 4stone? Fuck me sideways, that's heavy.

It's not everyday you see a big one too.

Can't help but think that if you stripped and sold that, you'd have enough money to buy a decent bike.

Yup 56lb of "get the fuck out the way Im coming through!" I'd fancied a postman bike for a while and I couldn't say no to the twin top tubes, although I'm only just about big enough for it an I'm 6'2"

I might end up "spoiling it" by making it all twee. With a dove grey finish, Brooks b66 and get rid of the plastic box, an then replace that with a wooden one. Although that would probably make it weight 60lbs'ish

And you intend to stop this how?!!

With brakes of course.

With brakes of course.

You're no fun. No parachute/anchor/brick wall?! :P

I love postie bikes.

I help run a festival post-service and we acquire one for the last few festival of the season. The feel so smooth and sedate, even on a corrugated metal track and in muddy fields. The hub brakes would stop anything.

Just bought this sorry looking thing on ebay. Hoping to make a grizzly rat bike out of it. Not sure if I've made a mistake though... Have to see tomorrow when I pick it up

ftfy. How much did you pay for it? If there's no serious rust then that could be a proper bargain.
